Nick is a god like genius!
His talk in our insights theatre went down extremely well with the attendance way over capacity as a huge crowd gathered round to hear his story.
He even ran a Live One Minute Brief to engage our audience and share content via our hashtag.
We saw lots of great comments about this talk and hope to have him back in the future in an even bigger space!

Nick spoke at one of our digital communication masterclasses for NHS staff and delivered a brilliant session that was loved by all who attended.

Combining his outstanding creative ability with excellent story telling, he inspired the room with engaging insights from both his personal and professional life.

The techniques he shared we also really relevant and instantly applicable, with the One Minute Brief concept in particular going doing very well.

Nick left our audience with the motivation to solve their communication problems more innovatively and effectively, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for coming down and putting on the workshops. It was great to have you around for the afternoon as well to help steer the groups and help with their idea generation.

Nick was invited along to our hugely popular Manchester Small Business Network to deliver a talk around Health and Wellbeing whilst running a business. We identified that many start up business owners believe they do not have a good work life balance, putting their own wellbeing on the back burner and spending 10 hours + a day on keeping everything afloat. Nick put into context just how important it is to take care of yourself first, in order for your business to be able to take care of itself – after all, your business is dependent on you being healthy, efficient, energetic and productive and this isn’t possible when you reach burn out point. Nick took people along on his own journey into business, sharing his successes and challenges with the audience with some practical hints and tips, leaving the audience feeling inspired, motivated and most of all with a sense of self appreciation and a greater value for their own mental and physical health. We have continually had great feedback from the businesses around this event and some long standing connections have been made between all parties since. Incredible atmosphere, some great advice and we look forward to following the journey of Bank of Creativity and One Minute Briefs.
